Jigsaw [IQ: 158] One of the most influential factors which make Jigsaw the #1 Smartest Horror Movie Killer, is that he planned all of these additional killings (in one fashion or another) in advance of his own predicted death. If planning weren't enough, Jigsaw's traps absolutely reek of genius.
Jigsaw (Saw Franchise)
Each one is smart in their own way but John Kramer stands out the most. John meets his end when Saw III (2006) wraps up, and he continues to be mentioned throughout the next films in the popular Saw slasher franchise.
Low IQ folks can do things. 78 is still higher than Trump and the became president. What is the point of bringing politics into this conversation?
Michael Myers is one of the most popular and enduring slasher movie villains. Heck, he practically birthed the genre as we know it in 1978's Halloween. Unlike a character like Freddy Krueger, Myers has no real personality or emotion. He's simply a cold, silent, remorseless killer - a true embodiment of the boogeyman.
While I was putting together a list of scary books that were turned into scary movies, Stephen King's tomes came up time and again, making it obvious that the 'King of Horror' deserves his own article. To date, King has published 64 novels, six non-fiction books, and around 200 short stories.
Leatherface - Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Leatherface is perhaps the scariest villain because of his disturbing appearance. He is given that name due to the face masks that he makes out of his victims' skin. He's also known for his gruesome murders and ability to strike true fear into those he attacks.
Pictured above, Terence Tao is said to have the highest IQ score in the world currently, with an impressive score of between 225-230. If the Chinese-American mathematician scored 230 he is definitely out in front. Effectively tying for the title, though, is Marilyn Vos Savant.
Michael does not speak in the films; the first time audiences ever hear his voice is in the 2007 Rob Zombie reboot. Michael speaks as a child at the beginning of the film, but while in Smith's Grove he stops talking completely.
Slashers have been predominantly male, but a few of them through the years have been female and one could even say that more and more of them are female, a fun change in the sub-genre. Pearl is one example of the recent slasher resurgence on the big screen and she's one killer lady!
The Exorcist is such an iconic movie in the horror genre, full of memorable scenes such as Regan's head doing a complete 180 and, of course, the scene in which she vomits up her pea soup. The movie was banned upon release in different cities in the United States as well as the United Kingdom.
Best Slasher #1 - Michael Myers (Halloween, 1978)
Beyond John Carpenter's filmmaking, there are a few reasons why Myers is the ultimate slasher.
Thirteen Women (1932) is perhaps the earliest example of what would become a slasher film. It documents eleven (not thirteen, as two women's scenes were cut before theatrical release) women being harassed and murdered after a clairvoyant swami mails them a horoscope foreseeing swift doom.
Adragon De Mello (IQ Score: 400)
Adragon De Mello came to the limelight in 1988 when he became the first person in American history to become a college graduate at 11 (he studied computational mathematics).
His score was the very highest that had ever been obtained. In terms of I. Q., the psychologist related that the figure would be between 250 and 300. Late in life William Sidis took general intelligence tests for Civil Service positions in New York and Boston. His phenomenal ratings are a matter of record.
Elon's IQ is estimated to be around 155, while Albert Einstein's is 160. With such a slight margin, Musk is undoubtedly an incredibly smart person. Who is the smartest person on earth in 2022? Born in 1975 in Adelaide, Australia is a mathematician, Terence Tao with an IQ score of 230.
Critical interpretation of full-scale IQ scores. To further simplify it: An IQ of 75 means that an 8-year-old child will function intellectually overall at 75% of the average 8-year-old's intellectual functioning ie, at an average of a 6-year-old level.
Best known for developing the theory of relativity, he is amongst the top most geniuses the world has recognized. Einstein never took an IQ score test. However, based on his historical records, academics have estimated his score to be around 160.
In addition to being beyond our understanding, a genuinely scary villain is often unpredictable. We can never quite anticipate what they will do next because their motivations and actions are so alien to us. Finally, a truly terrifying villain character is often unstoppable.
